I generally mix gloss and matt varnish to get a satin finish. It matters because it determinescm the finish. Ultimately the cold wax gives a nice sheen but if it is over a gloss varnish it is more glossy and over matt is isn't as shiney.

I might apply a layer of polymere mediums, and let it dry 72 hrs. Then a water based varnish with UVLS and let that dry 72 hrs. Then the cold wax layer, and let that dry approx 72 hrs after buffed. Cover the surface with glassine or wax paper before packing. You could try shortcuts by applying the wax directly to the print. As long as you cover the surface with glassine or wax paper you can pack it after 48-72 hrs.

@ianistudio2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching. I don't recommed cold wax as a finish coat for heavily textured work for two reasons: 1. The wax will build up behind the texture and 2. You can't buff the cold wax with the texture. Instead, use a good ( I recommend Golden) polymer medium. Let it dry thorougly then a good UVLS polymer varnish. ( again I recommend Golden). You can choose matt, satin or gloss or blend any of the 3 for the perfect finish.

Hi Sondra Most of the time 1 coat is sufficient. Once the cold was has cured it is quite durable. I store face to face, or back to back in storage racks. When transporting you can wrap in plastic. If the painting is small enough you could use wax paper or glassine as a barrier before wrapping in plastic. If very laege, I also use foam corners for transport (order these from Home Depot)

Hi Dianne, Thanks for your video. You rub on the wax and let it set for 20min before buffing? Does that give you a smooth, even coat? Gamblin suggests you let it dry for 4-6 hours before buffing. I've had trouble with streaking when using it one my very smooth oil paintings. I've tried Gamvar as well. Thanks for any comments.
@ianistudio2 жыл бұрын
I read on a sight called craftsknight.com that you should let it dry for 24 hrs. I would contact Gamblin directly. I'm sure each method gives different results. I treat it as if I was waxing a car, and my results are similar to a car that has been waxed and buffed. I find if the wax is too dry it is very difficult to buff. Of course it depends on how heavily you apply the wax and the climate conditions. Like waxing a car, I apply a very thin coat of cold wax. Once it sets, I buff it. If it cures, it won't buff. Experiment and let me know what works for you.

After watching your video, I went and bought a buffing pad for my power sander and buffing after 20min of applying the wax. This seemed to work much better! My oil paintings are very smooth such that any variation in sheen tends to be really noticeable. I diluted my Gamblin cold wax with a small amount of Gamsol, then rubbed it on thinly, finishing with a smooth vertical wipe. I let it dry for 20min and then buffed with my power sander, as you demonstrated, with the buff pad and the additional blue wipe underneath. After that, I applied a 2nd thin layer and buffed with the cloth. I think it's working! Thanks very much!

Hi I was wondering....you mention varnishing before you used cold wax to protect mixed media. What did you use to protect your marks from smudging etc before the wax? Didn’t that first varnish change the look of the painting? I would love to try this but don’t know what to varnish a mixed media painting with first! Thanks so much.
@ianistudio3 жыл бұрын
I first use an aerosol spray to prevent smudging. Let it dry well (12-24hours). Then use a barrier coat of acrylic polymer medium (I use Golden polymer medium thinned 25% with water). Let this dry well, again 12-24hrs. Then varnish with Golden polymer varnish with UVLS protection. Especially important with mixed media as some of the fragments could fade. After this has dried at least 24 hrs you may apply cold wax medium and buff to a soft shine.

Contemporary Oil Painting Medium Galkyd is an alkyd resin painting medium that increases the fluidity of oil colours and speeds their drying time. Thin layers of oil colours are dry in 24 hours. The viscosity of Galkyd is similar to traditional painting mediums made from linseed stand oil. Galkyd levels brush strokes, creates a strong flexible paint film and leaves an enamel like glossy finish. Galkyd is ready to use. Thins with odourless mineral spirits. Painters can add up to 50% by volume odourless mineral spirits to change the viscosity of Galkyd for glazing. Galkyds are excellent glazing mediums. Specifications
